PH levels indicate how acidic or basic a substance is. A pH lower than 7 is acidic and higher than 7 is basic. Since acids dissolve tooth enamel, I would say that substance with lower pHs are more likely to lead to tooth decay.
It depends on which parts of the the tooth are considered, but pH 6.7 and below is an accurate answer in a general sense. In a living organism, a tooth is constantly being demineralised and remineralised and at pH 5.5 the rates of demineralisation and remineralisation are roughly equal. Below pH 5.5 the rate of demineralisation is the greater and the tooth is effectively being corroded away.
Fluoride is the halogen used to prevent tooth decay. It strengthens tooth enamel and helps to protect against acid erosion and cavities.
All decay is bacterial (except when the term is used metaphorically, as in social decay).
Floride is added to toothpaste to strengthen the enamel of the tooth. This helps prevent tooth decay, particularly in children.
Dental Caries is the scientific name for 'tooth decay.'
Acidic solutions attack tooth enamel.
The pH of toothpaste typically ranges from 6 to 9. This range helps to maintain a balanced pH level in the mouth, preventing tooth decay and promoting good oral health.
Acidic solutions destroy the enamel.
An acidic environment attack the enamel.
An acidic environment attack the enamel.
which element present in our toothpaste protects out tooth from the tooth decay?
No part of "tooth decay" is a structure or function.

no its only a decay
Chemotherapy can lead to stomatitis and increase the risk of tooth decay.
Calcium is the mineral essential for preventing tooth decay.
The start of tooth decay is caused by two groups of bacteria Streptococcus Mutans and Lactobacillus.
